Custom Metal Keychain

A zinc alloy keychain cast to your own size, shape and colour. Because everything is made to specification, the practical starting point is artwork or a sample rather than a catalogue number, and the mould team can build the 3D file for you at no charge.

Fully custom metal keychains, cast from your artwork rather than picked from a stock range.
